Now you're talkin'! (How about slipping some to Geo Bush?)
> Seriously, though, I took Neurontin with Celexa a few years ago, and I loved the combination. I was only on the Neurontin for a few months (it was during a difficult work situation that required my being in control even when someone in a position above me was completely pushing my buttons).I took Xanax and an AD for the same problem; work was insane, my boss was insane, she drove me insane-er...
>I am only on Lexapro now, and while I am doing just fine, some days I wish I was on a mood stabilizer just so that I can stop reacting to issues that upset me. But I guess that a part of the treatment process is that I have to learn how to deal with daily issues such as anger and hurt feelings without slipping back into anxiety and depression.
Why should you just have to "deal with" it? If the Neurontin was helping you, why not go back on it? Just a need to go it alone? Pish tosh! A low-level, once-a-day hit of Neurontin might be all you need. Anyway, it's a very safe med. Why are you reluctant to go back on it? Just curious, you don't have to answer if you don't want to...
best,
Wendy
